Discuss the Paswordmanager Bitwarden.

BitWarden is my password manager of choice, I use it a lot. But one thing I find frustrating and honestly, nonsensical, is why it doesn't support ports out of the box? I have a bunch of services on different ports and would hope BitWarden would recognise that, but it doesn't? It's not a huge thing as I can always search, but it's one of those little niggly things.

I use Vaultwarden in Docker and I was able to change the port very easily. I'm not familiar with BitWarden's own stack, but I can definitely recommend Vaultwarden.

Talking about the autofill. Though I'm a big fan of VaultWarden too.

Ohhh that makes sense.

You may want to look at setting the match detection. Setting the match detection to "host" should match on specified port numbers. https://bitwarden.com/help/uri-match-detection/#host

Tried that, it's not working 😭

Edit: it's working! 🎉

In addition to setting the host uri detection, you could put all your services behind a reverse proxy. Bitwarden would then easily detect the subdomain.

You can also just set it in the hosts file

Reading one of the bugs on it, that was the route someone else took

Edit: got it working with hosts. Thank you!

What? Bitwarden doesn't give a shit about non standard ports on services you're accessing. They're a valid part of the URI string.

Try changing your match detection settings in the add-on.

If you're talking about bitwarden not supporting being run from container on a non standard port, we'll, you're doing it wrong. Expose whatever port on the container then Add a proper reverse proxy / edge router like traefik, then set up some DNS and Let's encrypt and only use 80 and 443 for all of your services.

It doesn't work.

I'm not

It should work with 'host' match detection. If it isn't working check your URIs.

Or do the sane thing and run everything on a different DNS and share 80/443.

Host is working now, so it must've been an issue on my end. Thank you very much.
